have relaxed their vigilance in looking after
us when we arc in towns was at Will
mington Il day or two ago and Feist Meyer,
known to the druinmers as old Sleuth the
Detective never troubled us. But the
State Treasurer is firm in his position on
tie matter. lie publishes :; circular-letter
stating that the Treasury Department re-
ccivcs many inquiries as TO the effect OF the

New YoRK, Msy II Yesterday the
Pacific railway commission communi-
Gated with Senator Mcpherson, Of New
Jersey, desiring him to furnish what
information he may be possessed Of re-
garding the Pacific railway system
The request was the result Of recent
published interview with Senator Nc
Pherson, in which he characterised the
investigation 40 superficial. The first
witness to-day was Amos Calef. He
testified being secretary und treasurer
of the Missouri Pacific, Iron Mountain,
st. Louis & Fort Scott railroads, and as
many more roads. he could not re-
member the names Of all. Was secre-
tary Of the Kansas Pacific in 1880.
Never kept accounts OF the Union Pa
cifc and Kansas Pacific pool or
issued certificates. Supposed he was
present and Witnessed articles of
consolidation betweep the Union Pa
citic and Kansas Pacific, but did not
remember COPY ot the ratification
of the consolidation signed by stock
holders shown witness. His certifi-
Gates to the ratification were dated in
April, whereas the consolidation had
taken place in the preceding January.
He kept the ratification at his Office to
get signatures. He supposed the sig
natures to have been obtained before
the act of consolidation because they
should have been SO obtained. Wit
ness remembered the transfer of the
Kansas Pacific. He didn't know how
the road parted with them, but thought
they went to Gould, though he could
not say what securities Gould put up
for them. Generally speaking Calefs
memory WAS extremely poor.
Addison Can1manck, a well.known
stock holder, was the next witness.
He was director Of both the Kansas
Pacific and Union Pacific roads at the
time of the consolidation, With
James X. Keene was member OF a
syndicate which purchased large
block of Uniou Pacific shares from
Jay Gould and by arrangement they
were made directors OF both companies.
He was present at the meetings OF the
directors Of the Union Pacific and
Kansas Pacifc at the time of the con-
solidation. In the Union Pacific di-
rectors meeting voted Tor consolida-
ton. Did not know what he did in
the Kansas Pacific meeting. Voted
for consolidation because the
Kansas Pacific is competing
line and union OF interests
would prevent ruiuOus cutting Of rates
and increase the earnings Of both cor
porations. BE knew nothing of the
financial condition Of the Kansas Pa
cifc road. Only desired to zee the
roads prosper,

New YoaK, Mvy tO.--Mr. O'Rrien
left fsr Montreal at 8 80 o'clock to.
night. To an Associated Press re-
porter, in speaking of his proposed
trip, he said it wonla be confined to
few principal cities of Canada. III
propose to arousv the public opinion
OF the people to the acts of their gov
ernor General Lojd J.apsdowne up to
the same level as it js in Ireland, and
as it would be were he landlord in
Canada and pursued the same course
as he has with his tenants in the old
country" Mr.. Q'BTen said his story
would be governed by the wishes OF
his friends theYe. lie intended to
speak of the state of affairs on Lord
Landowner. Itisb estate in very
plain terms. NJ would point out
that the govern0r-eeneral of Canada
had IN the most violent and wanton
manner pursued o course Of action
contrary 10 that which had been laid
down as accepted " the Canadian gov
ernment. Canada had helped Ire
land With money. Mr.. O'Brien would
show her people how TO help Ireland
in more effectUal way. He proposed
to give Canada the hest opportunity
she ever had tS stfike blow which
would effect wholesale clearances.
"Lord LapsdoWne" said Mr.. O'Brien
"is the first lvndlord who has ever
evicted tenants since the plan OF cam
paign WAS adopted, He has dispopu-
lated districts surrounding his property,
proposing reductions in rents smaller
by for than the official land commits
sioners are making on surrounding es-
tates and then repudiating the very
terms he authorized as settlement of
difficulties an0 approved by Lord
Lansdowne hinsvlf." He was the
first landlord put forth by rack renters
to testify against tenants, because he
is supposed to be immensely wealthy.
Because he is located IN Canada, he is
able to openly defy and ignor public
opinion at home. Our only recourse
left to save nearly 500 people from the
destruction OF their homes and little
property they possess, is to appeal to
the Canadian people to protest against
their governors 0ction az contrary to
the opinion vi their own parlia-
ment.
Speaking OF tbYeats of personal vio-
lence made Ny. O'Brien "There are
always threats, l believe, made in join
ing the battle On behalf Of Laggacur-
ran tenants and we are now doing the
work OF benefciaJ 70 listers farmers,
as to other districts. do not, there
fore, think that any section of Canada
will try to distptb me, neither will
they try to prevent me from putting
the case before the people. II should
be injured in any way, it would do far
more damage to Lord Lansdowne then
it would do me or the cause ! Plead

A LUNCHEON.
Gladstone was present ut u luncheon
given TO forty nop-confOrmist ministers
at the residence Of DIR. Parker of the

of an hours length. The substance OF
the whole discourse was Ireland. He
said there never had been any reason
for charging Parnellites with compli-
city in Irish crimes Six years ago
while prime minister, he denounced
Parnellites as dangerous. That was
totally different from charging them
with crime.

Promising Outlook.
ST. PAU, May 11.-Crop reports
from sixty counties in Minnesota, forty
in Dakota aud thirty-fve in Iowa,
show that seeding throughout the
northwest is now completed, and un-
der circumstances more favorable
than in any previous season for years.
Fair weather is only needed to pro-
duce another magnificent crop of
wheat, and il the present condition
holds good. barring, of course, all nc.
oidents of weather, the crops harvested
next fall will eclipse anything pro,
duced in Minnesota and Dakota. The
acreage in Minnesota last year, as re-
ported by the agricultural department,
3,067 ,851 scres, with an average Of
l3.9 bushels per acre, making a total
crop of 42,560.OOO bushels. The in
grease in the state this year will prob
pbly amount to Eve per cent. or about
175,O00 acres. In Dakota govern
ment returna show 2,675, $50 acres av-
eraging ia bushels per acre, giving
On aggregate OF 30,O40OO0 bushels.
The increase in acreage this year will
probably be % high as fifteen per cent.
or about 10000 acres. Taking into
consideration the more favorable con-
dition of the ground at seeding time
and with average yield Dakota will har-
vest over 20 100000 bushels this year.
so with anything like favorable
weather from now till harvest, the
total YIELD OF Minnesota and Dakota
combined, will aggregate between
SO, 600, 900 aud 9O,O0O,OO0 bushels. In
Iowa seeding was completed about ten
days earlier than usual aud reports are
unanimous ss to the excellent con-
djtion of The ground. According to
reports received from more important
quarters, there is o decrease in the
acreage Of wheat in many places owing
to the low plices and fear of the
chinch bug,
